Where's Widor?

[Mandryka]

Just wanted a place to note how much I'm enjoying the violin sonata with Hans Maile and Horst Goebel on Thorophon.

Love it - and I hope Cato's 'Like' means that Where's Wally is a global phenomenon.

As a fluent Francophone, @Mandryka, can you clarify whether he's Wee-dor or Vee-dor (the latter seems to be the usual British pronunciation, but I'm guessing that the former, along the lines of Watteau, is probably correct)?

My own Widor story: at the wedding of a couple of friends of mine (before I knew them, so I didn't witness it), the bride, who is a bassoonist, apparently made her entry to an arrangement of The Toccata for 8 of the things.  Whether sounds of turning were heard from the crypt of St-Sulpice is not recorded.

V I think @DaveF - but my accent is a bit like Winston Churchill's

[Wanderer]

Vee-dor

That's the correct pronunciation.
